How long does it take for only one eighth of a sample of radon-222 to remain

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alex17521 [72]3 years ago
4 0
1/8=(1/2)^3 and the half life of radon is 3.8days

Half life is the time it takes for half of any amount of a radioactive substance to decay into something else.

Therefore for a sample of radon to decay to 1/8 of its original amount, it would take 3 x 3.8days=11.4 days

Which statement about atmospheric pressure is false?
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

D) With an increase in altitude, atmospheric pressure increases as well.

Explanation:

Generally when altitude increases, the value of pressure decreases. This shows that pressure is inversely proportional to altitude. For example, the higher the altitude, the lower the pressure and vice versa. At very high altitude, the number of molecules of air are smaller than the number of moles of air at very low altitude. Thus, the higher the altitude, the lower the atmospheric pressure and the lower the altitude, the higher the atmospheric pressure. Therefore, option (D) is false.
